Hello,
I have a band and we decided we'd like to invest a little money into having a small home recording studio to play with and record demo tapes and stuff. I found this website and still am a little confused on what to get and all. We rigged together a tape deck and some mics and recorded off that and it sounded ok for recording practice so we could go back and listen to what we did wrong and want to change, etc. but we want something a little better.
So here's our inventory list..
1 drumset
1 guitarist with a huge stack amp.. it's a fender head with a 6 speaker cab on top of a 4 speaker cab (definate overkill, but the cabs only cost him like $275)
Another guitarist with a Peavey Amp, about 1/8th the power of the other guitarist.
A bassist running through an amp to a 4 speaker cab.
A 6 channel powered mixer running out to 2 old marshall monitors and 2 peavy SP2G PA speakers. (our singer and my drum mics run through this).
1 Windows PC 333mhz with 64mb of ram and a 4 gig hd or so.
1 iMac 333mhz with 96mb of ram and a 4 gig hd.
1 old tape deck with two inputs
1 good Peavy mic (our singer uses this one)
about 5 crappy ass mics we record with (I know we'll need better ones, just have other things to spend cash on right now.. christmas gifts are a pain!)
So... any advice for setting up a dinky little recording studio? Our guitarist also has a Windows PC with a cd burner, which would be great if we could record cd's.
thanx!
